Business and executive cabins or suites are larger than the standard cabins, which usually cover about 26.10 to 72.00 sq. m.. These rooms are mainly on the middle and upper decks of a cruise ship, like the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th floors. In the room, all amenities in the standard cabin can be found there.

And the sitting area is really good for a small meeting with your people.

Executive cabins and suites are the largest on Victoria cruises and Yangtze Gold cruises, of about 36.00 to 72.00 sq. m.

On Yangtze Gold cruises, cabins are quiet due to the appreciating adoption of the advanced technique of damping and noise-reducing, which can make the sound in your executive cabin down to about 40 decibels that is lower than the sound of an air-conditioner. Also, as rooms are decorated with elegant elements and high standard, guests can have a great stay along their whole Yangtze River explore tour.

For Victoria cruises, guests booking executive suites and suites of higher standard will have the great chance to dine in the A La Carte Restaurant with less people. Also, since Victoria Cruises is the only Yangtze River cruise company under the American management, staff and managers onboard will know better about the needs of people from America, Atlantic and Europe.
